Description

This farmhouse range, which is believed to incorporate the former prior's lodging, dates back to the 16th century and has been significantly altered and extended, with the current structure dated 1701. It is built of rubble with a slate roof and features raised coped verges and ashlar stacks. The building has two storeys and eight windows, with a continuous moulded string course. The windows include two- and four-light mullioned casements. The west door has a moulded stone surround with a segmental head, while the east door features a plank design with an ovolo-moulded surround. There is a single-storey 19th-century pentice supported by slender cast iron columns. The tall stacks are topped with a prominent cornice. Inside, the farmhouse boasts massive ornately moulded beams, and at the east end of the first floor, there is a 16th-century fireplace that remains unfinished, possibly indicating the prior's lodging was incomplete at the time of the Dissolution.
